Kentucky Dominates Tennessee But Are They For Real?

Everyone wanted to see how good Tennessee was, or if they were just a poll team that has gotten lucky most of the season. The truth is Tennessee is a good basketball team, but last night Kentucky was better. The game was in Rupp Arena before a prime time audience and Kentucky, in reality, had more on the line then the Vols. Kentucky is trying to catch Tennessee in the standings so a loss would have ended that for them.

PJ Washington had a huge game for the Wildcats, but it was Kentucky's defense that showed up big. They scrambled for the loose balls and did not give The Vols a chance to make deep runs at them. Kentucky showed that they can beat anyone if they come to play as a team. The real issue for the Wildcats is they do not give the same play game after game. They have been inconsistent at times during the season and that has hurt them.

Give the Wildcats credit as they played well for most of the game, but if they want to cut down the nets they must play like this all the time. Coach Cal knows if you want to be National Champions you cannot play inconsistent basketball. It will be interesting to see how Kentucky plays rest of the season. This was a great win, but they must build on it and play like this every game.

Will The Final Four End Kentucky's Streak?

The Kentucky Wildcats perfect run almost ended at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but the Wildcats proved they are not ready to lose just yet. Could Kentucky's run becoming to an end? The truth is they will have two tough games if they want to be perfect and hoist another National Championship banner up. All three teams left can beat Kentucky if they do not play well. Many people think it is just a matter of time before the Wildcats go down, but I'm not so sure about that one.

 

It seems Kentucky has the will to win and at the end does whatever is needed to get the win. When things go wrong they do not seem to get to rattle and they ride the storm very well. The Harrison Brothers seem to relish in the spotlight and make the plays when it is needed. Karl Towns played a monster game against Notre Dame and kept Kentucky in the game. One of the main reasons it is hard to beat the Wildcats is they have a variety of people who can get hot and carry them to a victory. This is why I think Kentucky will finish undefeated and set history.

Can Notre Dame Stop Kentucky's Streak?

The Notre Dame have been a pleasant surprise in the March Madness tournament and they have a tall order Saturday Night against the Kentucky Wildcats. Notre Dame does boast one of the best shooting teams in College Basketball. Kentucky on the other side of the ball has one of the best defensive teams in College Basketball. We have the best offense against the best defense this should be a game for the ages. Who wins it?

Notre Dame is a very good team, but in close games it always comes down to getting stops and Kentucky is the best in the nation. It seems the Wildcats always rise up for a challenge and I think this will be no different. Notre Dame will put up a fight, but in the end Kentucky is just too deep and has to many weapons for the Fighting Irish. Defense wins championships and that will not change anytime soon. Take Kentucky in a close game to move on.

Kentucky Wildcats Put A Scare IN Florida At SEC Championship

The Kentucky Wildcats were picked by many to win the SEC and contend for a National Championship. This group of freshman for Kentucky have struggled must of the year to play together as a team. No matter what Coach Calipari tried nothing seemed to work for the Wildcats then the SEC tournament came along.

These freshmen started to play like they belonged in the NCAA tournament. They were able to advance to the SEC Championship game against Florida who had already beaten the Wildcats twice in easy fashion. Kentucky found themselves behind in the second half, but rallied and almost pulled off a huge upset. They lost 61-60 to the Gators, but gave a good account of themselves.

It should be interesting to see how far they get in the NCAA tournament. If they continue to play like they did in the SEC tournament they should be able to go deep into it. I guess we will just have to wait and see what team shows up.

What Has Happen To The Kentucky Wildcats?

The Kentucky Wildcats fans only expect the best, but in the last few months they have definitely been shortchanged. Yes, the Wildcats are young, but that cannot be an excuse anymore. All year the Kentucky Wildcats have been playing horribly. They do not deserve to make the NCAA tournament to just be one and done.

You can blame a lot of people from the coach to others, but in the end it falls on the players. They must execute the offense and play defense as well. The coach can do only so much for you. As players you must stand up and take accountability for the failures. Getting better stars with the players, but the  coach also must do his part as well. I hope the tournament committee does not include Kentucky this year.
